What are you looking at in this picture? No, not the idiot in a cap, that’s just me… I mean the fractional plates, these, some might say are the most important thing you’ll find in a powerlifting gym, microloading is essential to help long term progress, they help to peak precisely for meets, they help new lifters make their jumps more assessible and safe and competitive lifters expect them, and rightly so

Deficit deadlift, which is a deadlift variation that builds solid power off the floor and increases the posterior chain strength, also does wonders for the quads.
